In the last decade, bioimaging and therapy based on near-infrared (NIR)
nanomaterials have played an important role in biotechnology due to their
intrinsic advantages when compare with the traditional imaging probe and
medicine. NIR nanomeaterials allow deeper penetration depth, low detection
threshold concentration and better targeted performance. This book
systematically summarises the recent progress in the fabrication and application
of near infrared nanomaterials for biomedical imaging and therapy, and discusses
the advantages, challenges and opportunities available. Near Infra-red
nanomaterials contains a chapter highlighting the outlook of these materials,
detailing novel ideas for the further application of NIR nanomaterials in
bioimaging and medicine. Written by leading experts working in the
